About This Book

A series of specimen-based field notes documents museum and field records that refine geographic ranges and taxonomic attributions of several Nebraska mammals. The author reports new county and valley occurrences, range extensions along Platte and Missouri River corridors, and distinctions among subspecies based on measurements and color comparisons. Individual accounts treat shrews, bats, gray and ground squirrels, and multiple pocket mouse subspecies, noting intergradation, individual variation, and possible recent movements, and citing specimens from several institutional collections and targeted fieldwork in riparian and Sand Hills habitats.
